13 years.

The original DS was released in 2004, and to this day, no hax for Download Play had been made.

Until now.

Gericom found an exploit in DS Download Station, allowing us to run any homebrew we'd like over DS download play.

Source code for dspatch: https://github.com/Gericom/dspatch

Enjoy!

And if you want to load unsupported flashcarts on a DSi:

Yes.
Here's Apache Thunder's flashcard launchers edited for HaxxStation. @shutterbug2000 should put this in the first post.

Proud of your guys's progress so far c:

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Amazing. Does this mean free DSi Hax finally? (I.e. could it write to the system/SD card?)

 

[NightScript]

WOW! This is nice! But isn't download play files supposed to be signed by nintendo?

Must be some stupid kiddies wanting another free 3DS exploit...

[The Catboy]

That is fucking cool! Also nice to see the NDS scene is still a thing.

 

[shutterbug2000]

WOW! This is nice! But isn't download play files supposed to be signed by nintendo?

Yes, that's why it's an exploit. c:

 

[JoshuaDoes]

can we run backup loaders? does it work with dsi?

Amazing. Does this mean free DSi Hax finally? (I.e. could it write to the system/AD card?)

No, this exploit does not provide any SD/NAND R/W access as it runs in NTR mode.

 

[RocketRobz]

can we run backup loaders?

No.

does it work with dsi?

It works with every DS, from the original to the 3DS/2DS.

 

[NightScript]

Can I get a Linux version?

 

[RocketRobz]

how to install?

All you need is one flashcard, a DS Download Station Vol. 1 (USA) ROM for the flashcard, and two DS systems.

 

[VinsCool]

Simply amazing! Well done guys!

 

[shutterbug2000]

All you need is one flashcard, a DS Download Station Vol. 1 (USA) ROM for the flashcard, and two DS systems.

(or bootstrap)

 

[RocketRobz]

(or bootstrap)

I don't think the DS Download Station Vol. 1 (USA) ROM is supported on bootstrap yet, just the EUR version (which is not supported on dspatch).

 

[shutterbug2000]

I don't think the DS Download Station Vol. 1 (USA) ROM is supported on bootstrap yet, just the EUR version (which is not supported on dspatch).

It's supported, but you need to use 0.2.0 for some reason.

 

[RHOPKINS13]

This is really amazing, I just assumed Download Play would never get hacked...

 

[VinsCool]

Could this be used to run flashcards that require a passme card, assuming the said passme card was lost?

You can run unsupported flashcards with this.

 

[ThisIsDaAccount]

Can this be used with fwtool 1.60 on the DSi to backup/restore NAND dumps?

 

[VinsCool]

You can run unsupported flashcards with this.

This is great! Nice to know!
Does that mean we could also run unsupported flashcards on a DSi as well?
